6 Days, 5 Nights Pre-Vipassana Course

$289.00

Start a deep journey into yourself whilst you experience an authentic and fun spiritual community where you can be yourself, relax and prepare for your Vipassana Mediation retreat.

At Samma Karuna we love Vipassana and we embrace it as an authentic path for happiness & inner-peace. It is out of many frustrating and difficult retreats that we have created this course, part of our Awakening & Healing program®.

Running throughout the year, our Pre-Vipassana course uses active, dynamic and still meditations along with Yoga and Qi-Gong to leave your body and mind ready to take the best benefits of a Vipassana retreat.

We understand that it is important to work on “the big stones” before deepening on the subtle world of Vipassana.

This course is suitable from completely beginners to very experienced Vipassana meditators. A senior teacher will meet up with you and tailor the course to your particular needs.

You don’t need to to keep silence during our Pre-Vipassana courses but silence budges are available on request at the Welcome Center.
